The Manual Handling Risk Assessment is a crucial document required under Dutch health and safety legislation (Arbeidsomstandighedenwet) to systematically evaluate risks associated with manual handling operations in the workplace. This assessment should be conducted whenever employees engage in activities involving lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling loads that may pose risks to their health and safety. The document combines legal compliance requirements with practical risk management approaches, incorporating specific Dutch regulatory standards and best practices. It serves as both a legal record and an active management tool, requiring regular reviews and updates when processes change or at least annually. The assessment helps organizations fulfill their duty of care, prevent workplace injuries, and maintain compliance with Dutch Working Conditions legislation.
